I found an interesting stat about how new captains go in there first year
Name - Avergae Year before captain - Average year named captain
Callan Ward 89 to 106
Matthew Boyd 106 to 115
Jack Grimes 78 to 88
Joel Selwood 111 to 117
Jobe Watson 101 to 107
What does this mean for Cotchin, Murphy, Ebert and Pendlebury who could all be named captain of their club? If they are named captain of their respective club, can they take it to the next level?
What are your thoughts? If Cotchin,Murphy, Pendlebury and Ebert are named captain will that mean you will pick them? Or does it make no difference.

Also this is my 1000th post and thanks to everyone for making this forum such a great place!
neat stats Jroo, definitely something to think about
I'll be locking in Pendles, Cotch and possibly Murph into my team!
Nice article! We can only hope the trend continues and that none of these guys Trengove on us as they're possible picks. I'm likely locking in Cotch and maybe Murphy, and I may look to Pendles and Ebert as well.
Good work,JROO, surely worth taking into consideration.
Hmm, very interesting. I already had Pendles and Cotch, but now they're super locks!
has there been anyone to drop??

If you read the full article I talk about how Trengrove dropped off. I think Swallow dropped of by a few points as well

Trengrove's was influenced negatively because they gave him the captaincy at too young of an age imo. Wasnt a great year for the dees all round though so he might bounce back.
Thats very interesting Jroo. Ill be picking Cotchin and Pendles regardless of captaincy or not but its just a little extra incentive
will be starting with pendles and cotchin anyway. Would be pretty happy if Pendlebury could lift his average since its already in the 120s!

Interesting, Cotch and Pendles were always gonna be in my side anyway. I might have a little look at Ebert as a sneaky unique...probably wont have the balls though :P
